Subject: USB autosuspend causing trouble with bluetooth

Hello,

Recently I started having issues with my Apple Magic Trackpad and I
realised that the problem was with autosuspend. Whenever I have `auto`
in `power/control` of my BT adapter, `btmon` shows no packets,
nothing. As soon as I `echo on`, all the missing packets arrive.

The situation looks very similar to this thread:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/2/574.
As suggested, I tried `hci-tester` and I’m attaching the complete
output, but, I guess, the interesting part is that with `on` in
`power/control` I get:

~~~~
Inquiry (LIAC)      Passed      10.254 seconds
~~~~

and with `auto` I get:

~~~~
Inquiry (LIAC)        Timed out   30.365 seconds
~~~~

This is Acer 4810TG laptop with BCM2046. The kernel is 3.17.7, but I’m
pretty sure I was also seeing this on 3.18.1. Bluez is 5.25.

P.S. Please, CC me as I’m not a subscriber.
